  • PAS Risks Internal Split If It Rejoins BN Malaysiakini.Com July 30, 2014
    PAS risks internal split if it rejoins BN MalaysiaKini.com July 30, 2014 YOURSAY 'But once Pakatan breaks in S'gor, it will break nationally.' Leaked PAS message: Team up with Umno in S'gor Quigonbond: A question that must be asked is why PAS is back-paddling on the idea of welfare state instead of hudud. Do they seriously think they can work with a corrupt BN? Whither ideas of justice and fairness in PAS? Why have they suddenly turned into racial-religious bigots? Is it because they did not win as much as they liked in GE13? But don't they realise that even if they join BN, they will still fight over the same pie with Umno? Or is this strictly over Selangor? Even if it is strictly Selangor, they should realise that once Pakatan Rakyat breaks in Selangor, it will break nationally. One's faith is inextricably tied to the other. Perhaps PAS is looking for a breakup. But then the challenge will be how the Erdogans can break the political stranglehold of the conservatives in the party and from there break into the rural hearts and minds in Peninsular Malaysia. They don't have much traction in Sabah and Sarawak - that remains the gauntlet for DAP and PKR. Malaccan: PAS research centre operations director Dr Mohd Zuhdi Marzuki has as good as admitted himself to have no honour nor integrity. He sickeningly explains his bigoted and extremist views about non-Muslims by claiming it was an analysis, and uses distraction in his Umno-like defence.

Walaupun beliau mencetuskan berbagai ide dan pemikiran yang melambangkan keterbukaan PAS kepada perubahan zaman, beliau sangat arif menggariskan idealisme partai hingga kekal utuh sampai sekarang. Ketokohannya dalam mencetuskan pemikiran dakwah yang lebih mirip kepada PAS-centric serta diselubungi dengan kontroversi pada waktu itu, telah mendahului banyak pihak dalam memperkenalkan gagasan besar seperti tajdid hadhari yang kemudian diakui menjadi sumber inspirasi kepada gagasan Islam hadhari yang dilancarkan oleh pemerintahan UMNO pimpinan Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.

  • Croatia-Southeast Asia Business Advisory Network to Support Tech Development in Malaysia
    Croatia-Southeast Asia Business Advisory Network to support tech development in Malaysia BERNAMA 22/02/2019 By Samantha Tan KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 22 (Bernama) – The establishment of Croatia-Southeast Asia Business Advisory Network would not only support technology development in Malaysia, but also help the country to achieve its ambition of becoming a developed nation. Functioning as a knowledge hub and business incubator, the advisory network focused on entrepreneurship, technology development and innovation. This is timely, as these factors are the key drivers transforming Malaysia. Croatian Ambassador to Malaysia Kreso Glavac said the advisory network, which focuses on businesses and people-to-people relations, would act as a framework to further boost collaboration between the two countries. “The objective is to help Croatian companies and people to provide information and know-hows, as well as connecting them with Southeast Asian countries,” he told Bernama after the 10-year anniversary celebration of Croatia’s participation at Malaysia Technology Expo (MTE) 2019 here, Thursday. The event was officiated by Deputy Entrepreneur Development Minister Datuk Wira Dr Mohd Hatta Ramli. August last year, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad had said that Malaysia can still become a fully developed nation but it might take a little longer than the original target of the year 2020. “Maybe we cannot achieve it by 2020, probably we can by 2025,” he was quoted as saying. The advisory network was created as a dynamic cooperation platform of private sector entities, governments and experts from Croatia and Southeast Asian region namely Malaysia, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar and Brunei.

  • PAS BUAT DEMONSTRASI BANTAH ISRAEL SERTAI KRIKET (Bernama 25/03/1997)
    25 MAR 1997 PAS-Israel PAS BUAT DEMONSTRASI BANTAH ISRAEL SERTAI KRIKET KUALA LUMPUR, 25 Mac (Bernama) -- Kira-kira 1,000 anggota PAS hari ini mengadakan demonstrasi membantah penyertaan pasukan kriket Israel pada kejohanan Trofi Majlis Kriket Antarabangsa (ICC) di sini bermula semalam. Sehubungan itu PAS mendesak kerajaan supaya membatalkan visa dan mengusir pasukan itu dari sini serta merta kerana kehadiran mereka seolah-olah mengiktiraf Israel sebagai sebuah negara. Demonstrasi itu diketuai Timbalan Presiden PAS Haji Abdul Hadi Awang. Ia bermula dari Dataran Merdeka pada pukul 9 pagi dan mereka kemudian berarak ke Jabatan Perdana Menteri (JPM). Semasa di JPM, tujuh pemimpin PAS termasuk Abdul Hadi menyerahkan memorandum bantahan kehadiran pasukan itu kepada Setiausaha Politik (I) Perdana Menteri, Datuk Haji Aziz Shamsuddin di pejabatnya. Pemimpin PAS lain yang hadir semasa penyerahan memorandum itu ialah Ketua Pemuda Abu Bakar Chik, naib ketua Mohamad Sabu dan exco Pergerakan Pemuda Dr Mohd Hatta Ramli, Sallehuddin Ayob, Mahfuz Omar dan Abdul Latif Ibrahim. Mereka membawa sepanduk mengutuk kerajaan Tel Aviv dan turut membakar bendera Israel semasa di Dataran Merdeka dan di luar pintu masuk JPM. Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad sekembalinya dari Arab Saudi Ahad lepas berkata keputusan kerajaan membenarkan pasukan kriket Israel menyertai kejohanan antarabangsa di sini ialah untuk menyedarkan mereka bahawa masyarakat berbilang kaum dan agama dapat hidup bersama-sama dengan aman dalam sebuah negara seperti Malaysia. Katanya Malaysia berharap melalui cara itu pemain-pemain kriket muda Israel itu akan dapat menjelaskan kepada rakyat Israel lain mengenai situasi di sini apabila mereka balik ke negara mereka bahawa agama Islam tidak menindas atau menekan agama lain.
